FloobMemberI dont think that would work (unless you put specific values).
You could try remapping instead, bring up the RetroArch GUI in game with Select and X.FloobMemberDoes the performance on your WipeOut match the video here?
Although first I would sort out those retroarch.cfg files – I dont know what you mean when you say that file overwrites itself. I’d be tempted to start with a clean install – or at least just use the defaults I provided above.FloobMemberDid any file get created in here?
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/When you start a game, say a megadrive one, do you get any yellow text appear at the bottom of the screen?
FloobMemberI mean what are the permissions on the bios file.
What do you get if you use PuTTY and logon to the Pi, run this command
ls -lah /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/{BIOS filename}Your retroarch.cfg is wildly different to what you really need.
Here are the originals, untouched which is what I’m using/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=15Nan1C1/opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=bUYH1A5bIf you really want to edit your system specific retroarch.cfg with custom settings for RetroArch, check this video out
FloobMemberIf you can confirm the user Pi has permission to read the bios file I would think it may be a customisation you have made to a config file.
On my test I made no changes to them at all and it works fine.
Are you able to reset them or try on a separate SD card to test?FloobMemberOk, I wrote a clean 3.1 to the SD card, expanded the filesystem and copied
SCPH1001.BIN to the folder /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS
The filesize of the file I used is 524,288 bytes and has an MD5 of
924e392ed05558ffdb115408c263dccfthat worked fine with the PSX games I tried, it worked fine upper or lower case.
It couldnt find the bios file if I renamed it to a random filename.What is the MD5 of your BIOS? Does it match any here?
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Playstation-1FloobMemberHave you got an overlay or shader in use there?
If so, can you try taking the screenshot without any effect applied?I’ve not tried screenshots so not too sure if it should pause. You could ask here:
http://libretro.com/forums/FloobMemberCan you confirm you are using RetroPie 3.1 (or 3.2 or other) from the image provided on this site, as opposed to a source or binary install? Then I’ll do the same test and check it out.
FloobMemberIn your
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg file, edit this line to readscreenshot_directory = /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/screenshots
(Make sure you have removed the hash character #)Obviously you will need to create the screenshots directory, do this as user Pi, or at least make sure Pi has read/write access to it.
Then It should be accessible via windows. You could always write a basic batch file to move the contents to your dropbox directory.
FloobMemberoops – sorry for double post. I need to refresh more often :)
FloobMemberYou can change the emulators using the RunCommand:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/runcommandThere is no best emulator, its mostly down to personal preference or sometimes specific rom requirements.
I usually use FTP to copy roms, but when using USB, this has always worked for me:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/How-to-get-ROMs-on-the-SD-card#using-usb-stickFloobMemberIn your
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfgCan you set a key value for this?
input_enable_hotkey =eg
input_enable_hotkey = altFloobMemberYes, there are many N64 games that dont run 100%. Try swapping the video plugin, or trying a different N64 emulator.
You can find a compatibility list here:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Nintendo-64The PS1 games will run much better, I have tried quite a few and they all seem to run really well.
FloobMemberWhat happens if you hold select, and press space?
FloobMemberWhich of the N64 emulators are you using?
The non-retroarch version uses a single button to exit – this is shown in this vid.
Its about 18mins in for the hotkey info.FloobMemberDoes the start button exit the game when using other emulators, or just the N64 one?
FloobMemberThis guide works for me:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Neo-Georomset info here:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Managing-ROMsFloobMemberWhat yellow text do you get at the bottom of the screen when you try to save a state?
And the user pi has write access to those directories?
FloobMemberWhat error do you get when trying to save a game?
FloobMemberThats really impressive. Good job!
FloobMemberThats probably ok – are you 100% sure you have a Pi2?
There is a chance the download is corrupted – you could try the torrent download option instead?
FloobMemberWhen I have that type of error I do this:
http://smartretro.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=58Although I’m sure there are other ways to go about it.
FloobMember@dabone – Thanks for the comment. Sure, if you add the requests as an issue on the github page, I’ll get round to adding that.
10/18/2015 at 20:28 in reply to: SELECT + START (QUIT) missing after config input in RetroArch #108032FloobMemberOk, bear in mind if you want to remap buttons you can do this
FloobMemberMy kick31.rom is (on windows) 512KB. my kick13.rom is 256KB
Once youve got these kickstart files its worth trying some other games, in case the ones you have, have an issue.
FloobMemberYes, lr-fba will be /opt/retropie/configs/fba/retroarch.cfg
So the controller will be picked up as normal from
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/{yourcontroller}.cfgFloobMemberLooking at your pic, the kickstart file (kick20.rom etc..) that are named correctly look to small at 1k. The Kick20.rom , ie capitalised wont be seen as they need to be all lower case. They dont need to be in the kickstart dir at all, just the BIOS dir.
FloobMemberYou can remap buttons in RetroArch like this
FloobMemberHavent tried this one yet, but as its lr- can you hold select and press x to bring up the RGUI menu – then check the core options?
FloobMemberhmm, well if the bios files are in red, thats saying that they dont exist in the bios directory. Can you see them when you “ls /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS” ?
They (filename in the kickstart dir) are just symbolic links that look for the actual file in the BIOS dir.
Well you could backup your smaller SD card with win32diskimager, then write it back to the larger card and expand the disk again to take advantage of the extra space.
Are you using sselphs scraper?FloobMemberFor the Amiga emulation, use the 3.1 kickstart rom, (it depends to a degree on the game you are running) – basically try the A1200 preset.
This shows how to make sure your bios is in the right place
The PS1 video you are following is a little dated now, as it was for the 2.6 version of RetroPie. Check out the Wiki for bios info etc..
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Playstation-110/17/2015 at 02:07 in reply to: SELECT + START (QUIT) missing after config input in RetroArch #107942FloobMemberIf this is for Retroarch based emulation, what does your controller file in:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypadslook like?
It should have a line to set the hotkey enable:
input_enable_hotkey_btn =and a line to exit the emulator:
input_exit_emulator_btn =FloobMember@Crumb
Assuming you are talking about mame4all, in RetroPie 3.1 the file to remove is
/opt/retropie/configs/mame-mame4all/cfg/default.cfgFloobMemberHave you tried connecting to hostname “RETROPIE” ?
FloobMemberWhen you say “Mame” or “FBA”, do you know which one was being used? Its just it would help work out what might be working best for people.
The available options are here:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Managing-ROMsFor example, I run mame4all (non lr version), and lr-fba, and gngeo sometimes.
Although from reading posts I’m tempted to try out lr-fba-next as it looks like it supports even more romsets. -
